About this work

Description

The last in a series of five short programmes in which microbiologists discuss their relationship with a favourite microbe. In this part, Professor Hugh Pennington tells of his research into the 'superbug' MRSA (staphylococcus aureus or Staph A) since the 1960s. He narrates how the bug has arisen and the series of mistakes that has now turned it into a major health threat.
